Even if the run-time reflection system is generating code? The boundaries are a lot more fluid than you probably imagine.
That, however, means integrating a (mostly) complete C++ compiler or interpreter into the reflection library (mostly in that it can interpret/compile an intermediate form instead of real source).
That might be easier than you think. There's always system("c++ whatever.cpp...") There's a really interesting python project that lets you embed C++ directly in your Python function. Remember, Python is fully dynamic, so the types passed could be anything. The C++ gets compiled on-the-fly, as needed, for the different combinations of argument types passed to python. They didn't invent a whole new C++ compiler, they just require you to have one in the system, and they use that. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
